Recycling at Catoctin Creek Nature Center

Catoctin Creek Park will be another location in our park system which will feature and encourage patrons to recycle. Our staff will encourage and educate visitors on the benefits of being earthly minded. At each of our shelters and in our nature center facility there will be recycling containers as seen here; http://www.recycleaway.com/.

Currently Fountain Rock Park, Libertytown Park, Rose Hill Manor, and Pinecliff Park also have recyling initiatives for the general public to participate in.

The Importance of Nature and our Community

“Nature-deficit disorder is not an official diagnosis but a way of viewing the problem, and describes the human costs of alienation from nature, among them: diminished use of the senses, attention difficulties, and higher rates of physical and emotional illnesses. The disorder can be detected in individuals, families, and communities.” — Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods
